A future Russian astrometric satellite (Struve) is aimed at an extension of the fundamental coordinate system down to 18-th magnitude stars. The positional accuracy of observations is planned to be about 0.6 mas. Many of the Solar System objects will be observed by the Struve satellite. Problems of registration and reduction of these observations are discussed.
